Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 32 Hua Tianbao

At this moment, in Lei Chi's secret camp, Lin Donglei, Yang Taiyang, Li Tianming, Lu Xiaoman, and Hua Tianbao had already entered the [War Corridor].

Hua Tianbao was carrying the tower at the front.

The man was dressed in a magnificent suit of armor that appeared to be made of pure gold, complete with a helmet, gauntlets, boots, and belt. He also carried a large cross-shaped sword on his back, making him look like a Gold Saint.

The poison from the little green snake only caused him to lose a little blood per second, and the quills from the porcupine would bounce off him. He strolled forward leisurely, a smile on his face, his expression amiable.

Lin Donglei and the others were all dumbfounded.

These four guys are even wearing "Tata World tank tops" and "Tata World shorts," and on their feet are beach flip-flops.

When they met him in person, they realized that the guy who had been clamoring to see the world was not the small-time player they thought he was, but a real big shot.

【Hua Tianbao: LV30, Beast Tower player, 6000 HP, 10 Armor, 10 Magic Resistance, 80 Attack Power】!

Upon seeing those "dazzling" attribute data, Yang Taiyang and the others stood frozen in place, not moving for a long time.

"Among the Beast Tower players, there's actually a level 30 veteran!"

"The Joker is myself!"

"Hua Tianbao, Boss Hua, how could you have such an amazing player!"

"Wow, this pro is pretending to be a newbie. I even offered to mentor him. How embarrassing!"

"He's got nothing better to do than come and invade a low-level player's camp at level 30..."

Lin Donglei and the other three began to whisper among themselves.

Hua Tianbao strolled leisurely through the towers, calmly commenting on each one as if he were browsing items in a free market.

"That's like a tiger!"

"This snake is nice!"

"That piece of garbage!"

"This duck is alright..."

Hearing this, Lin Donglei and the other three realized what was going on. Looking ahead, they saw that the camp seemed to have several more defensive towers than when they had invaded it before. Moreover, there were already Tier 2 [Big Tigers]?

"Don't just stand there, this is a perfect opportunity to curry favor!"

Lin Donglei jumped in surprise and quickly ran forward to catch up with Hua Tianbao, a smile on his face, and said, "Hey boss! Do you need a little something to hang on your lap?"

Yang Taiyang and the others also caught up.

"Boss, please help us out! We're having such a tough time!"

"How about we become sworn brothers? You can be the eldest brother!"

"Wow, how did you even get to level 30 in the Beast Tower? It's so hard to progress there!"

Hua Tianbao turned to the four of them, a slight smile on his face, and said, "Actually, the Beast Tower isn't that difficult to play. The key is to have patience. Once you survive the tenth wave of monster invasion, everything will be fine!"

"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it!"

"Seeking guidance from experts!"

"Does this mean that if we survive the tenth wave of monster invasion, we Beast Tower players can stage a comeback?"

"I need a walkthrough!"

Lin Donglei and the other three were immediately intrigued and looked on as if they wanted to learn more.

Hua Tianbao said, "Once we survive the tenth wave of monster invasion, we can open the trading hall. Then we can start collecting gold coins. There are quite a few gold farming studios now. You can collect 10 gold coins for 100 yuan. You can collect several million. It's not difficult to develop."

Yang Tianyang was taken aback: "You freaking... oh, so you're a RMB warrior, nice to meet you!"

"What a great guide, haha!"

"A high-stakes strategy? We can't afford that!"

Li Tianming and his two companions were immediately disappointed. They were not rich, and they couldn't even afford to spend 648 yuan on in-game purchases, let alone collect gold coins. They were only willing to work hard and talk about money, as it would hurt their feelings.

Hua Tianbao continued, "With gold coins, you can spend them at the trading post. Buy whatever you like, what's so difficult about rising to power?"

"Do you even need to tell me?" Yang Taiyang's lips twitched as he asked, "May I ask how much you've spent on in-game purchases to get to your current level?"

Hua Tianbao thought for a moment and said, "Let me do the math. I've been in this hobby for about half a year, and I've spent about 20 million in total. That's not a lot, is it?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Donglei, Yang Taiyang, and the others inwardly exclaimed, "Holy crap! More than 20 million! This guy is really rich! Why didn't his parents beat him to death?"

Hua Tianbao shook his head and said, "However, the game is about to be updated. From now on, the system will be more regulated and crack down on gold farming studios. Abnormal gold coin income will be frozen directly, so you won't be able to collect gold coins anymore. So if you want to collect gold coins, hurry up. It seems that the price of gold coins has already started to rise. I estimate that by tomorrow, 10 gold coins will be able to sell for three or four hundred yuan."

"Heh, I can't afford to spend money on this!"

"I've accumulated over 30 gold coins here. Do you want them, sir? I'll sell them to you for 1000 coins!"

"I have over 20 gold coins, selling them cheaply..."

Lin Donglei, Yang Taiyang, and the other three were about to sell their gold coins, but Hua Tianbao shook his head, saying, "Gold coins are the most scarce resource for Beast Tower players in the early stages. You'd better save them and develop quickly to reach level 10 as soon as possible! I've created a guild called Beast Tower Concentration Camp, which specifically recruits Beast Tower players. I'll invite you all to join later. Do you know why I play Beast Tower? Because I like the word 'beast,' and I want my guild to become the strongest and most ferocious guild in the Beast Tower world, with every member as fierce as a beast!"

Players can establish a guild after defeating the 15th wave of monster invasion, and can join another player's guild after defeating the 10th wave of monster invasion.

Yang Taiyang and Lin Donglei are currently level 8, and Lu Xiaoman and Li Tianming are currently level 9. They are not yet qualified to join a guild.

Hua Tianbao continued, "Sigh, there are still too few players in the Beast Tower. I haven't encountered a single player above level 10. I can't recruit anyone I want to. Isn't that infuriating?"

"It's infuriating, so incredibly infuriating!"

"Speaking of which, you're the only Beast Tower player above level 10 we've ever seen..."

At that moment, Lei Chi, carrying a pickaxe, came over to greet them. During player invasions, the camp leader could enter the [War Corridor]. He frowned at Hua Tianbao and the other three, and said, "What are you doing? You're dawdling and chatting all day. Can't you be more professional? Hurry up and invade. It would be better to go home and rest after you're done."

Hua Tianbao looked at Lei Chi and said, "You are Lei Chi?"

Lei Chi also saw Hua Tianbao's attribute information at this time, and was quite surprised.

A level 30 Beast Tower player is truly a legendary figure.

However, Lei Chi wasn't intimidated. He retorted, "So what? I'm not afraid of you just because you're a higher level. Come on, let's fight to the death!"

Hua Tianbao waved his hand dismissively and said, "You've misunderstood. I didn't come here to invade; I came to support you. Your level is too low; I can't recruit any guild members!"

"What?" Lei Chi was taken aback.

They're not here to invade?

Are they here to provide support?

Are you out of your mind?

I've come all this way with a pickaxe, and you're saying I won't invade? Are you trying to ruin my cultivation and block my path to wealth?

"I refuse to provide support!" Lei Chi smashed a pickaxe directly into Hua Tianbao's head, only taking away a little blood.

Hua Tianbao didn't retaliate, but instead said to Lin Donglei and the others, "We Beast Tower players are already weak, so we should help each other and absolutely not fight amongst ourselves. You're not even level ten yet, so I can't give you gold coins. I'll provide you with some materials later, and you too..."

He looked at Lei Chi and said, "Don't worry, I won't touch a single tree or blade of grass in your camp. Even if you hit me, I won't fight back. Let me tour your secret camp first and see what I can do to help you."

"Damn it! You're here to cause trouble on purpose, aren't you?"

Lei Chi thought to himself, "How could there be such a player?" He refused to believe it and continued to attack Hua Tianbao with his pickaxe. The latter actually did not fight back, but walked forward leisurely with his hands behind his back.

Lei Chi had finally reached level three, and after this invasion, he originally wanted to survive one last time, but seeing Hua Tianbao's appearance, he really wanted to kill him.

Lin Donglei, Yang Taiyang, and the others were delighted to hear Hua Tianbao say he would support them, and they all spoke up for Lei Chi.

"Bro, being carried by a pro, isn't that a good thing?"

"Stop fighting! Brother Tianbao is right, we Beast Tower players should help each other!"

"Stop fighting, brothers! Don't start infighting!"

"Lei Chi, the placement of these defensive towers in your base is terrible. Come here, I'm going to teach you a lesson..."

Lei Chi was helpless, inwardly cursing the absurdity of the situation, as he watched Hua Tianbao and the others walk out of the War Corridor and into the Camp Square. Hua Tianbao wasn't even afraid of the Slime King, just taking the hits without fighting back. His health was reduced by 500, but he took out a medicine bottle, took a sip, and his health bar was full again.

He braved the attack and toured Raichi's camp. He saw the slime skin that Raichi had left in front of the bento box machine. He stopped to examine it for five seconds, but instead of taking it away, he left a scroll behind.

He then visited a gold mine, which terrified the orc laborers.

Finally, he arrived outside the chicken farm and clicked his tongue in admiration: "Lei Chi, your camp is pretty good. This chicken farm has great potential. Develop it well and level it up to 10 quickly. I don't have any good materials to support you here, but I'll leave you a Flame Gem. It's an upgrade material for [Little Yellow Duck]. Also, don't forget the blueprint I left at the lunchbox machine; it's a valuable item!"

"What the hell..."

Lei Chi was speechless, feeling utterly powerless. He had been smashing Hua Tianbao's head all the way with his pickaxe, but the man didn't seem to care at all.

"Alright, it's about time. Let's visit your four camps now. I'll provide any materials I can."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ten-minute sweep ended, and Hua Tianbao, Lin Donglei, and the others were immediately forcibly teleported away.
